This National Recycle Week, we’re thrilled to have joined forces with WRAP for their annual Recycle Now campaign, and celebrate how Boots customers have been giving their empties a new lease of life through Recycle at Boots – one of the UK’s largest brand-agnostic beauty recycle schemes.

Since launching in 2020, we’re delighted to share that our customers’ sustainability efforts have been paying off:  

• Almost 15 million beauty, health, wellness and dental products that can’t be recycled at home have now been deposited through the scheme 

• Which has diverted 675 tonnes of plastic from landfill.
• All of which has been repurposed into packaging pellets, MyBoard or furniture that’s donated through the MyGroup SchoolCycled scheme.

This is a massive milestone for the Recycle at Boots scheme, and it’s fantastic to see so many shoppers choosing Boots to help them be more sustainable – and get rewarded in the process.

But… how can you recycle more of the right things, more often?
